Establishment of khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard means supremacy of the dictates of shari‘ah and socio-political justice on earth. This is one of the basic objectives and prominent messages of the Holy Quran and Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). About khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard the Holy Quran expresses as: -وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الأَرْضِ … -الَّذِينَ إِن مَّكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَمَرُوا بِالمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهَوْا عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَلِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الأُمُورِ. -هُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) proclaims: - وَاَللَّهِ لَوْ وَضَعُوا الشَّمْسَ فِي يَمِينِي وَالْقَمَرَ فِي يَسَارِي عَلَى أَنْ أَتْرُكَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ حَتَّى يُظْهِرَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْ أَهْلِكَ فِيهِ مَا تَرَكْتُهُ. The Holy Quran and the Seerah refer to some underlying milestones on the way of religious nations to status of khalafah and tamkeen fin ‘ard. These milestones may be expressed in an order as: da‘wah [preaching], deen [practices of prophetic teachings], hijrah [migration], ma‘iyyat-ul-Allah [companionship of Allah], qital [wars], nusrat-ul-Allah [divine aid], izhar-ud-deen [domination of deen] and khilafah [inheritance of authority]. This is noteworthy that journey of khalafah and tamkeen fin ‘ard begins with da‘wah [preaching towards deen] and passing through various milestones ends up again at da‘wah, as obvious from ayat-ul-istakhlaf quoted above. Therefore, the seekers of khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard should strive hard and keep struggling with the work of da‘wah with dedication in all circumstances and all means as per time and place requirements in lined with the modus operandi of Prophets, particularly Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), instead of awaiting the status of khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard as prerequisite to start with the work of da‘wah and establishment of deen. This paper primarily aims to elaborate the milestones of Muslim Ummah to reach to the status of khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard. It also cast light on the objectives of khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard. This work provides useful guidance to Muslim Ummah in general and Ahlud da‘wah in particular about milestones and objectives of khilafah and tamkeen fil ‘ard.
This study was initiated with the aim to identify the impact of a teacher?s
behavior on the learning process of students in classroom. In the field of learning, the
relation between a teacher and student is of notable importance. A classroom is a
learning place where students spend a significant amount of their time with their
teachers. Classroom is a core learning place where teacher and student come in direct
contact with each other. Teacher is always an inspiration of students and his/her every
action directly influences the learning process of students. A teacher can either make
or destroy the life of a student. Seeing the gravity of this issue, the researcher tried to
know the perception of teachers & students about what they think, how negatively or positively a teacher can affect the learning process of the students in classroom by
showing changing attitudes and behaviors on different occasions. Data was compiled
on a likert scale and was analyzed in crosstabs. The technique of collecting data was
primary as close ended questionnaire has been distributed to 200 respondents which
have been considered and collected in total through multistage sampling technique. It
includes the teachers as well. This particular data collection technique assisted the
researcher to target the respondents in a professional and ethical manner. The research
design used in the same analysis was exploratory in which the behavior of the teachers
has been analyzed in the context of the learning of the students. The results have
shown that teacher?s positive behavior puts positive impact on the students, whereas,
teacher?s negative behavior puts negative impacts on the students. However, strict
behavior of the teachers, sometimes, brings positive results in the learning process of
students. Some of the major recommendations which have been proposed in the same
analysis belongs to give soft punishments in order to maintain the effectiveness in the
educational place. It is also found from the recommendation section that the teachers
should use polite language in the classroom and should not allow any student to use
abusive language. More emphasize should be given to the training of the teachers so
that they can avail the opportunity, that can help in integrating their knowledge,
information and commitment. It is essential for the teachers to gain thorough
understanding about the behavior, and implications of the behavior to attain high level
of efficiency in the classroom. Democracy is essential, and teachers should align their
behavior and should give extra commitments and effectiveness to their students so that
positive behavior can be attained.
